.The rules say... Stock oil pan. They don't care which car or truck it came off.
Are you allowed to modifly the stock pan?

I'm an industrial Machinist i work(or i did before the cancer) in the local Chemical plants and i used to help alot for Trumble race shop. They build Pro Stock on down. Jimmy told me my Ritter block was as heavy duty as any pro stock block anywhere
I used to hone my own but now I have Mike do it. He uses Sunnan hone with diamond stones it really does a wonderful job. I recommend it for anyone it worth the cost.
Yes. I use a 1996 Dokota 360 oil pan. It a much better pan but it does require some baffling. Oil in this pan will run away from the pickup when you hit the brakes. I learned this the hard way.
If anyone plans on using a Ritter block I would suggest having only Mike Slabeck doing the machine work as he has done two.

I can open the box and show you the pan I have. I will also get the part number.I posted this request on the Challenger thread.
Could one of you guys post a picture of the Dakota pan on an a body?
This should help. In 92 the 318 went Magnum and from then on used 360 pans. I do not believe the aftermarket reproduces this pan as it is very specific to 1 year.I posted this request on the Challenger thread.

I'm not sure, I have the pickup tube for it.Can you use the kevko m303-1 pickup tube with this pan?
87 thur 91 on the dakota oil pan, the problem is most of those trucks were V6's
It sucks looking for a V8 Dakota any year as most all were V6’s. Nothing new here.87 thur 91 on the dakota oil pan, the problem is most of those trucks were V6's
Thanks for the picture and pan tip. Very cool of you my man. Good tips. My added 2 cents....This is only a small part of the horsepower to be gained here.
1. Throw away the windage tray.
2. Less oil in the pan.
3. A lighter weight oil. (Pro Stockers us a 0W10 or lighter.
If you think you would like to check out a Dakota Pan, you might want to check out Summit part number Dorman 264-233 or Spectra SGT-CRP25A.
Jeremy , Thanks ,the pan is very inexpensive $51.99 , cheap enough to give a try for sure, I was looking for the pickup tube do you Know the part# for the tube?
Dan Dvorak told me when he was setting records with His A/SA , He used 0-10 Royal Purple , 3 quarts only and only during record runs,There is a risk involved . Thanks for all the great information !
The stock pickup works very nice, there's even a bump in the pan for the pickup to rest on. summit calls the pickup a melling 200s I'm sure it the same as above. Make sure you have the pan where the oil doesn't all go forward when you brake. I put a baffle sheet from the front to the sump to aid in oil drain back, and a baffle in the rear to aid in keeping oil in the sump.
Dan know's what he's talking about, one of the few I would listen to.
Yes a great Guy.
Lots of difference in BB and SB. Yes, I've invested many hours building scrapers also. They are very important. SB oil is closer to the oil and planning is very important.
This is another reason I think th e windage tray must go. It just holds th oil closer to th e crank.
I've had the gun drilled axels for 20 years and have had no problems with them. I've had the alumn. spool 5 or more years and had no problem with it either but I try to be careful with it. The MP alumn. center section is not legal in stock.Jeremy, have you had any failures with the aluminum spool and gun drilled axles ? Do you use the MP Aluminum center section ? Thanks for all the great info.

True. But it’s so much better to get the personal information from the actual racer as the questions pop into the head. Same thing happened to me in idle chit chat with a chassis builder one day. I didn’t realize I was grilling him with questions. LOLThe aluminum center section is legal in superstock, not stock eliminator. Many of you questions could be answered by looking at a rule book.
I cant argue that point at all. Perhaps I should have said, you would likely enjoy reading over an NHRA rule book as it will provide you with plenty of information. Lol, probably generate more questions, I know it does for me. Great point Rumble.True.
